Girls Preview: After starting the season on a 13-game winning streak, Hillgrove (15-3, 7-3) lost three games in a row, all to regional opponents. The Lady Hawks are now in fourth place in the Region 4-AAAAA standings as they go into tonight's game against McEachern (17-5, 9-3). The Lady Indians have won 12 of their last 13 games, including a 63-57 win over Hillgrove. They're now ranked ninth in the state. Hillgrove, ranked eighth in the state, would like revenge for that Jan. 29 loss.

Boys Preview: McEachern (15-6, 8-4) is in third place in the Region 4-AAAAA standings, but with the logjam at the top, the Indians could move up to first place or down to fourth this week. That makes Tuesday’s game against Hillgrove (12-9, 5-6) extremely important. The Hawks risk falling down toward the bottom of the regional standings. With tournament time approaching, both of these teams need a win.
